Chords

This is the cover of Bobby by (Sandy) Alex G made by Cavetown and Conan Gray. Link to the original video: In the video, the violin part of the original song is played on ukulele, but I transcribed it for guitar as well:
e|-------------------|---------------|
B|-------------------|--3------------|
G|-4-5-4-0-2--0-----0|4---4-0-2-4-2-0|
D|--------------0h2--|---------------|
A|-------------------|---------------|
E|-------------------|---------------|
But if you want you can still play it as Robin plays it on ukulele, which would be
A|0-1-0------------|0-3-0-----0----|
E|------1-3-1-----1|------1-3---3-1|
C|------------0-2--|---------------|
G|-----------------|---------------|

D              A
Bobby's just a friend of mine

     G
He's on his back

    D      A
I'm on his mind

   D                A
He wakes me when he goes to work

    G
His hands are cold

    D         A
His breath is smoke
[Chorus 1]
    Em            G
I'd leave him for you

   D           A
If you want me to

    Em            G
I'd leave him for you

If you want me to

If you want me to

D                  A
Do you forget when we first met

    G
You grabbed my hand

  D         A
I tore your dress

  D                A
I felt things I cannot express

      G
But I lost my way

  D       A
I made my mess
[Chorus 2]
    Em           G
I'd clean it for you

   D           A
If you want me to

    Em           G
I'd clean it for you

If you want me to

D                A
I paint pictures of my heart

    G               D      A
The colors blue and purple start

   D             A
To bleed into an endless dark

     G             D    A
It's only you it's only you
[Chorus 3]

If you want me to

I'd burn them for you

If you want me to
